Timemore Crystal Eye

Five Equal Pours

Timemore's five-pour Crystal Eye recipe divides the brew into equal additions at regular intervals, followed by a gentle final swirl. The simple pulse pattern works with the cone's tiered ribs to pursue uniform extraction, clarity, and repeatability.

Notes

Pour five additions of 50g at 30s intervals, using the same height and pattern each time. Swirl gently after the last pour to level the bed; if flow slows sharply between pulses, grind coarser or reduce agitation.
